When In-N-Out shut down all of its Texas stores due to a bun quality issue earlier this week, Texans were quick to cite Whataburger while criticizing the California-based burger chain.

But now it seems the bun-related problems have spread to the Lone Star state's favorite fast food chain.

In several tweeted responses earlier today, Whataburger said it had pulled some of its white buns and Texas toast from stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, East and West Texas, Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas.

Good news for San Antonians though. The bun crisis has not hit the Alamo City.

A statement from Whataburger said the buns and toast were pulled due to an issue with the yeast used to make them. The statement did not say if the buns came from the same supplier as In-N-Out.

"There's no health risk at all, rather an impact on our bun's flavor caused by an unbalance in the yeast, and we want to make sure our customers get the best product," according to the statement. "We understand this is frustrating to our loyal customers and apologize to those impacted by the shortage."

While the bun-shortage continues, Whataburger will make any burger or sandwich using a wheat bun, flour tortilla or bun-less on a platter for no additional cost.

"Our bread is baked daily and our teams are working around the clock to deliver fresh buns today and we look forward to getting back to business as usual just as soon as we can," Whataburger said.
